A Piper PA-46-350P, N221ST, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Leicester, Massachusetts. The commercial pilot and two passengers received minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that the airplane was on approach to runway 11 at Worcester Regional Airport (ORH), Worcester, Massachusetts. During that time, “a little ice” began to build up on the wings and he activated the deicing system (boots) twice upon entering clouds. The elevator then began to shake and become ineffective. In an effort to avoid a stall, the pilot applied forward yoke control and the airplane contacted a tree and came to rest upright in the front yard of a residence about 3 miles from the runway 11 threshold.

Saved himself and his passengers from a stall/death. That’s a win.
Well he put them there in the first place 🤷♂️
And I call BS on the stall due to a few seconds of ice. He probably freaked out with the shaking due to rough ice layer and crashed the plane nowhere near stall speed.
The input of flaps may have caused the tailplane to stall. If that was the case, then pitching aft would have been the corrective action to avoid stalling the tail. This was all just pure luck that the tree cushioned his falling out of the sky.
@@CaptVII Sure, but before a tail ice stall the controls would get mushy, vibrate due to disrupted airflow etc. He freaked out and thought the same you did.
I'm betting this is what happened and the plane wasn't stalled.
@@Shadow__133 you weren't there. Do not accuse nor speculate nor show off from the safety of your keyboard. Shame on you!
Sudden onset significant icing from freezing rain is deadly....
Pilot did good keeping himself and his passenger alive.
The natural reaction at that low altitude alert is to try to get more altitude. His aircraft couldn't do that in its iced up condition. The attempt to go up would hava almost certainly resulted in stall-spin fatal.
Well, we can discuss the part if the pilot "did good" keeping his passengers alive....
Elevator shaking is different than buffeting prior to stalling a wing. He had ice built up over the tail and probably stalled the tail. Increase power, pull back on yoke to maintain altitude or slow decent, don’t add flaps, come in and land fast.
But first of all…don’t fly into freezing rain. He should’ve stayed above the clouds and picked an alternate. Bad ADM.
every landing you can walk away from is a good one - everything else are issues money can fix
This happened when I lived in Worcester. The ice can be wicked bad here. Glad everyone made it out okay.
Tail plane icing…you don’t push forward on the yoke…you pull back on the yoke. This keeps you from stalling the tail, which is likely what happened. You don’t add flaps. You make an approach at a higher rate of speed and use all of the runway!
I thought those particular planes had ice boots
Some say that controller is still asking how do you hear to this day.
